Thanks, Stephen! This was captured Friday night near Lucin, UT. This is one of the Lucin Sun Tunnels (Peter - that should give you some good Google reading). Four friends and I headed out and spent the night there, doing some light painting, time lapse, stars, and the sunrise. There was only about a 5% moon, and this was taken at about 11 pm, so the light here is ambient light coming from the west.

How magical! :~) I love that you included the tunnel and didn't just do the sky. I like the sillouhette the tunnel made and how it starts off skinny on one end and ends up fat on the other. I can't believe how beautiful the sky is there. We can't see that much here because of all the light pollution. This might make a nice panorama too! #10370092

I read about these once in a magazine but had no idea this photo was one and the same. Saw your photos on face book and thought Wow! Great job Jeff! I admire your dedication to the art form...up all night! #10370180

Wow Jeff - one of the most dramatic night sky scenes I have had the pleasure of viewing. Definitely would be printed and on my wall too. It is going in my favorites which is as close as I can come. #10370559

Absolutely, Deb! We camped there Friday evening. There is literally nothing for miles, no water, power, cell service, etc. There's actually another place (the Spiral Jetty) that would be fun to do the same thing. We could make it a two-night venture. Spend a night at the Jetty, then move and spend the second night at the Tunnels. Would be pretty fantastic!#10371874
